Notes
- The drama is based on the 2010 Japanese novel On Hand of God by Yo Kusakabe (久坂部羊).
- The series was developed as 16 episodes of 1 hour, but aired as 2 blocks of 30 minutes and subsequently distributed as 32 episodes. As a result only the odd episodes have opening credits and a title.

- 2019 27th SBS Drama Awards
